Great buy! The price was great and the quality of the TV is out of this world. I would recommend this LCD TV to any one. People made comments about the sound, but it sounds great for our living room. A good surround sound would not hurt if you want to spend the money. When monted on the wall it looked very nice, very easy to install. All in all we are very happy with our first LCD TV.
Pros:
-Great Picture, amazing.
-Many features.
-Mounted on wall looks great.
-TOC is a nice feature looks classy.
-Shipping and delivery was very, very fast.

Samsung LN52B750: Perfect for me
I have been living with this TV for about 5 months now, and I really can't say too many bad things about this TV. I had high expectations, bt had no idea they would be met so clearly.
Are there things I would like to have improved? Of course. But lets just start a list.
Picture clarity and color: Great. I haven't found the "Perfect" setup yet, but it came very nice out of the box and I am not in a hurry to sit and mess with it for a few hours for what would amount to a small incremental improvement.
Upscaling: Much better than the Receiver I have it hooked up to (Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K 7-Channel A/V Receiver (Black)) which by the way is amazing, especially for the price. Use the TV for upscaling, not the receiver.
Performance: Great. I use for Wii, PS3 (Games and Blue Ray), and Digital Cable. No problem with high action games or fast movement. No special settings needed. Just played Batman: Arkham Asylum and Wet (no not adult) with great results.
Sound: Who cares, I use a receiver. But it is fine for a TV.
Size: Awesome, especially from my 10 foot viewing range.
O.K. there are some small gripes, but far from show stoppers.
Media Play through USB: It works great, but certain embedded audio tracks get out of sync more and more through the movie. Also, COME ON, SAMSUNG! pay for the license for DTS. I have mkv files that I don't want to mux up and not be as good. Also, would it kill you to be able to play a m2ts file. I would especially like to see Media Play through eSata Port. No worries of file size then.

I've been researching flatscreens for 3 years now (as I bided by time waiting for permission from my wife to finally get one), and in the end, after reading all of its stellar reviews and actually going to see it for myself in the showroom, released my pent up buying desires on purchasing this superb tv. Unbelievably sharp picture and Samsung's colors are fantastic right out of the box.
.
At first, things were a bit too sharp, though, and I was feeling somewhat unable to enjoy shows and movies because the HD was allowing me to see the layers of stage makeup caked on actors' and actresses' faces (which kind of takes you out of the scene)and the movement was too sharp (if that makes) sense. This was easily remedied by turning off the edge enhancement feature, reducing the judder to 3, and doing the other tweaks suggested by the top review listed here.
.
My wife was skeptical about the value of this but now is completely sold and loves our TV. I've yet to watch any Blu Ray on this (and see the 240hz in action) but so far it's great.
.
The Yahoo Widgets are kind of "meh." right now, but the YouTube widget is nice and very easy to use. If Netflix Instant Streaming were built in, this thing would be off the hook, but that's okay; I've got a TiVo HD hooked up to it and that allows me to stream and download HD shows from Amazon and Netflix. Also, in order to partially justify spending all this dough, I've dropped cable and am going purely with an HD antenna. (After testing out a bunch of models from cheap to expensive, I ultimately settled on the RCA flat amplified antenna with a powered amplifier.) I'm smack dab in the middle of NY, so I'm more than satisfied with the channels I get, and let me tell you, the picture from our local over-the-antenna broadcasts is amazing on this set. When we watch the news, it's a bit unsettling because it looks almost like the the newscasters are sitting across a table from us. And frankly, I'm glad not to have to deal with those bozos from the cable company anymore for anything but my internet bill.
Some of the reviewers knock this TV for it's sound, but it's not bad...and really, when you're getting a TV in this class, why would you even consider doing anything less than a full home theater surround sound system?
You'll probably rarely use it, but this unit has some nifty little software extras that are nice to turn on when you want to relax (there are nature and meditation programs you can turn that give you a pretty image (a la "Sunrise Earth") with some soothing music).
The overall design is excellent. We love the clear stand and the rounded glass edges.
My only small complaint is that the glass screen is highly reflective. A BB salesperson told me that the glass screen is how Samsung manages to achieve the incredibly deep blacks on this TV, so I'm okay with it (and it's easy to just turn off the lights and close the shades...and wear dark clothing).
Anyway, no regrets here at all. I am _very_ happy with this Samsung LN52B750.

Samsung LN52B750: Unexpected effects
The TV is everything the hype says it is. My wife is very happy with it and the image quality is super. However, the screen is too reflective to my taste (Sony has true non-reflective matte surface) and the room needs to be darkened for comfortable view, and the high-Hz technology makes all movements unnaturally smooth.

Samsung LN52B750: After 3 years of searching
Samsung LN52B750: After 3 years of searching
Samsung LN52B750, I want to start off by saying that I am probably THE pickiest person when it comes to picture quality, response time, and input lag. I started searching for a nice, large LCD a long time ago. I finally decided to buy a 52 inch Samsung model 2 years ago but just the 60hz model with an 8ms response time from Amazon. First of all, that LCD was basically unusable, came with some stuck pixels, and was plagued with ghosting. I'd say that the response time was somewhere in the 200-400ms range for some high contrast colors. There was also terrible pillaring on either side of the LCD that I could not ignore in scenes with lots of solid color. I basically gave up the search at that point and returned the TV because I was so unhappy with it.
So naturally, I was skeptical about this one when I needed to buy a TV for my new home 1.5 years later. This time it was on my gf's dime, and I figured I'd give it a shot. Let me tell you, the response time is about 100 times better. I don't see blacks streaking across my screen like I used to. Granted, since I am very sensitive to it, I can still see ever so slight ghosting if I look close enough. But, the difference here is I have to try HARD to see it. I still have slight pillaring on this LCD but it's almost nonexistent if you are directly in front of the TV. Also, I have no stuck pixels which makes me happy too! Input lag will exist on any large LCD you purchase, but I tell you I don't even notice it playing COD4 or Killzone2. Contrast ratio and color tone has also advanced greatly since the last LCD I purchased. They are so vivid and it is to bright that I have to turn it down to 1-3 for the backlight or else my eyes burn in the dark. This LCD is also thinner than the last by about 50%. I don't care for the 240hz because it makes mistakes with compressed content, but looks pretty damn good on uncompressed HD. So, I leave judder and blur reduction to a nice median 5 and it's quite pleasing to look at now. The menu, added features, and everything are also nice on this product, although I don't use them that often. My ONLY complaint is that the speakers on this aren't up to par with the old one I returned. Of course, this is 50% thinner so I am sure they downsized the sub and some speakers. I can't rate this lower because you need to have a separate sound system anyways if you care to have good sound quality. I got this for $1949 which is a hell of a lot cheaper than in the stores. Coming from a picky user that frequented the avsforums and did a ton of research, you should definitely purchase this LCD. At the time of this review and my purchase which was months ago, it was regarded as the best LCD on the market. LED was tempting, but I am wary of the issues with new tech until it is well established and the kinks are ironed out. Best buy ever!

Samsung LN52B750, Absolutely incredible picture right out of the box! We've had a rear projection TV for years and this is our first LCD so we were worried about motion blur. NONE noticed. Sporting events look phenomenal. The detail is unheard of. There was a recommendation to turn Dynamic Contrast off. But this is what gives the details such as faces in the crowd, blades of grass, etc. We love it and have played around with the picture settings but have decided so far not to adjust any of them. We like the crisp, detailed image.
I am no technical wiz, but I suggest changing the audio since the default "custom" sounds hallow. There are many great audio options in the menu settings. We are happy with "standard". Be aware however that certain features such as Game mode only work with "custom" audio. Kind of a bummer. We just won't experiment with game mode. Obviously for those using a surround system none of this matters. We are happy with the TVs audio after changing the setting.
Screen glare was another concern, but worth the risk for the improved features on this Samsung LN52B750. Ours is next to a sliding glass door and faces two large windows. When the TV is off, the glare is like a mirror. However, when on, glare is hardly noticable. Yeah, if you look for it you can find it, but it does not affect the viewing pleasure whatsoever. Pretty remarkable.
As far as delivery, Pilot service was good. BUT it was delivered from Amazon quickly, then sat at their warehouse for a week before making it to our home. Evidently they have been getting swamped with this order so things are backed up. Due to freezing temps they were unable to plug it in for us and test things, but they took it out of the box, attached the stand and placed in on our table. Pretty nice.
Overall, we are thrilled with this Samsung LN52B750

Samsung LN52B750 is Wonderful TV, huge improvement from the A850!
Samsung LN52B750 is Wonderful TV, huge improvement from the A850!When I originally ordered from Amazon, I bought the LN52A850. The A850 had MAJOR clouding issues on the screen, and after months of service requests and back and forth with Samsung Technicians, I finally was able to get Samsung to exchange my A85 for the LN52B750.
I will say that the B750 is an absolute huge improvement from the A850! The picture is stunning and I am actually pretty impressed with the audio when compared to the A850. And most importantly, I have virtually NO clouding during dark scenes! There is 1 very, very slight cloud that is visible when the screen is completely black and you are in a completely dark room, but even then you have to specifically look for it.
With my A850, I was completely frustrated and distracted when watching it, but the B750 has been all that I expected and more. I'm extremely happy with it. And as a side note, I had a family member over the other day, and she owns a Sony Bravia (50"+ I believe), and when I turned on my Samsung, she stared at it and said "Wow.. what a great picture!" as if she was in awe.
Samsung LN52B750 is Perfect

Samsung LN52B750: Perfectly satisfied
Samsung LN52B750: Perfectly satisfiedI have n't yet tried everything on this set, but I'm perfectly satisfied with it. Amazon's order handling was perfect; CIVA's delivery was perfect; hook-up was a breeze; set-up was intuitive (did everything I needed to do without once cracking the manual); and the thing works perfectly. Now THIS is the way to watch the US Open and the Steelers on NFL opening night!
